Hey everybody, im in need of homework help again. I'm working on a paper for one of my classes and it is a proficency. So I need to make it really good as far as the thesis statment, apperance, introduction, conclusion, resources etc. I am doing well on my paper so far but one of my biggest problems is ELIMNATING WEAK VERBS! (also known as help verb) First things first, it would really help if I knew what all of the weak verbs where because every time I seem to turn in a draft of my paper it always says to many weak verbs! No I am not stupid but I am once again I need of some help . So if anbody knows all the weak verbs can anyone tell me. Also I need help with a sentencethat have a weak verb. I'm not looking for anyone to do my work for me I just need some guidance sooo here it is...
This time period was known as the beggining of history for jazz music.( I need to get rid of the was)
"This time period was known as the beggining of history for jazz music"
this is a period of time known as the beggining of jazz. or this is the period of time jazz was created in.
and as for weak verb- a thesaurus helps... just wright down a base sentence of what you want to say:
I was running realy fast when I fell. It hurt a lot.
and rearrange the words, or replace the words:
as I was running quickly before I fell, the fall was that much more painfull. or The speed at which I was running intensify the pain that shot up my leg when I fell.
im realy good at liturature and have a large vocabulary- if you ever need help with this type of thing, just PM me. (I cant spell though).
"This time period was known as the beggining of history for jazz music."
Use action verbs rather than be verbs. "Known as the beginning of history for jazz music, this time period..."
am, is, are, were, was, being, been, had, had, have, could, should, would, will, can, do, does, did, may, might, must, shall
those are to-be verbs. I think they are the same thing.
to be honest, I actually don't know what a "weak verb" is. do you mean a verb that has lack of word choice/higher vocabulary? (run, sit, say,etc)
I think Obama could be considered a weak verb. Oh crap I was thinking out loud again, I am sorry.
